Best Yawns Poems
Autumn YawnsAutumn Yawns
Autumn yawns – early darkness stunts her days
Eventide wrapped in golden umber tones
Bands of autumn hues swaddle mellow haze
Sunset sundrops sweet serenades intone.
Twilight dozes ‘neath the harvest’s birthstone
Autumn savors new frost in early dusk
Scarlet scents, aphrodisiac cologne,
Festoon icy crystals - autumnal musk.

The Ghost of One Who Yawns Addresses YaleYou would not have dared look into my face
When it wore flesh and scowled
Upon the world your people forced on me,
You sons of Mammon,
You children of Ivied Privilege.
I was Terror to the Mexican,
The name their tongue gave me
Became a word for courage in your...

Princess Zoe Yawns-A-LotPrincess Zoe Yawns-A-Lot
In Mommy's arms though you are not
In my heart you'll always be
Until you can come home with me
Slumbering soundly you softly snore
Dreaming dreams of sleepy lore
All goofy smiles and half closed eyes
My Baby Lady, My sweet surprise
My perfect angel Heaven sent to me

The Gargoyle YawnsThe Gargoyle Yawns
The Fogwalker searches for clues in the moist darkness of early morning. The mist feels it's way through empty alleys and vacant lots.
Cautious footsteps crackle from the gravel pathway lined with broken glass and dry leaves, evidence the Autumn Equinox...

YawnsYAWNS
Yonder valley of stone
Yellow yawns wonder
Seemingly yelling
In open mouth drawls
Rain or streams
I do not know
Blowing nose, dabbing eyes
Taking warm sips of tarpit
Toothpick splinters barely hold
Open misty window shades
Eventually snapping shut
Locked like crocodile jaws

My Keyboard YawnsThe clock strikes twelve
my keyboard yawns
Pleads for me to tuck him in
I say "One more poem"
He says, "You win"...

Yawns the Dawncold blanket warms
my benumbed
feet.
tired aluminum moon
has long gone
to bed.
drowsy dawn yawns
behind hilly
silhouettes.
languid breeze is a spider's
web touching
my nape.
smiling, I start dreaming
it is, once again,
morning !...

When Morning YawnsA whirlwind of thoughts stir up silence
As uneven depths of despair
Paint bright yesterdays and pale tomorrows
A night filled with wandering addicts,
Their eyes speckled with the gloom of gray
Dreams colliding with reality
On fluffy clouds where they trip out
Love is...

petals upturned
ghostlike vapors

Bullfrogs croak
My dog slumbers...

love yawns at dawnImmersed in dreams deep,
some fairies oversleep,
atop fragrant sunflowers
and then they shape shift,
sharing love’s gift;
divine bliss shower that empowers....

Laughing Buddha Yawns
Laughing Buddha yawns, on earth born
He knows life but a dream
Unruffled by both praise and scorn
Flowing in the bliss stream
Laughs at life and at death
Touch divine, is his wealth
Living thus, breath by breath
He’s the light that dawns
Laughing Buddha yawns
